The Steelers operated that way forever(drafting and acquiring players to fit established systems) and never had it hurt them.

They haven't won in awhile though, and they've also made subtle changes over the years depending upon personnel. You have to do that. You can't use JuJu like AB for example. The big play offense is gone...for now. I expect they'll upgrade their receivers and we'll see a switch.

Ellis mentioned a connection I'd overlooked.

Pat Stewart was with the Eagles during Reich's time there as OC.

I looked for connections in the coaching staff and thought about the front office, but didn't really look too far beyond Fitterer and Morgan (my mistake) 😄

@Mr. Scot Awesome post, thanks for the time

Kevin Patullo for sure is a name to watch

Mike Groh is also a potential OC.  He was part of the highly curated Daboll staff that all came together without much history.  He was Reich's WR coach in Philly & then Indy but got plucked away.  And got that pedestrian NYG room playing really solidly this year (Slayton & Hodgins).  In checking him out, it sounds like he's not just a colleague but vry tight with Frank so could see him on the squad.

Tyler Boyles is another who's young and was Reich's handpicked assistant "to the" HC.  His young 30-ish Y/O assistant will likely follow him methinks.

I hadn't looked too hard at Groh as an OC but I'll probably take another look.

Based on what I'm reading about Reich having already interviewed people though, I'm starting to think the hires might be announced before I've had time to research anybody 😄

Groh is a classic NFL nepo-baby but could be good.  Hard to tell, didn't have the best cred when he was on Fisher's Rams but seems to have reworked his career a bit.

    • I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes. 
    • Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.  
    • Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
